Sewing at City Craft

Last night I had the first session of a sewing class at City Craft. The focus of this particular class is on creating a throw pillow with custom cording and an invisible zipper. Considering how much I love fabric and pillows, knowing how to create them on my own might be dangerous. My poor husband already has to deal with pillow overload on our sofa and bed!

Anyhow, we primarily worked on creating the custom cording. I finished a little early, so I cruised the fabric area. They have a fabulous selection of designer fabrics (including Michael Miller, Amy Butler, and Joel Dewberry) and my brain was going crazy with ideas on how I could use my favorite ones in our house. Here are some snapshots...

Imagine Roman shades in this fabric....

Little turquoise action...

I'm all over this b/w zig-zag...

The peacock blue one in the middle really caught my eye...

Baby trellis!

They have tons of oilcloth, which I love!

Finally, this orange and turquoise print will be mine in some form or fashion.
